Really, it didn't help. I still hate you all and am now even more envious, but I'm trying to be nice. It's like fucking St. Crispen's Day, only with fire.

You were to the slight left of me, if I recall. I was under the onus of a dare: specifically to not spin fire for the whole of fire drums, because if would be 'funny' if I didn't. (I was allowed to spin fans and poi thou) Anybody that knows me should never made such a bet around me, cos I will do it. Just watch me. The all fire staff was allowed because it would be entertaining, burn me and be 'funny'. After that, the dare/bet/challenge was dismantled and I was allowed to spin fire, but unfortunately, i also had mild pattern burns on my arm and neck, and didn't really want to rub them raw with a contact staff. Plus the drums never stopped so I had no enthusiam for spinning. Heckling sill worked thou... "INVISIBLE ZOMBIE ATTACK!" I love poki.

Thanks for filming that Chad, I just wish we'd done the same for Meast... Meg, as always, it was a total pleasure jamming with you and taking your class. I've been able to do continuous angels now in practice, which I'd never been able to do before, and thanks to some tutoring from Chains I've got the Jesus too. Those neck redirections from the fishtails are really cool, I never realized how easy it was to change direction in contact. And I disagree with Chains about the rain, this was my most social Firedrums by far, because of the rain. Less jammin', more yappin'. Nothing wrong with that though...

Had been looking forward to taking more classes, but found myself constantly attacked throughout the weekend by these two crazed guys with padded staves.

Enjoyed Firedrums this year, would have enjoyed it more without the mud and rain. It's Scottish weather novelty quickly wore off. It was a shame I didn't get to chat to more people, chris and shireen, rif, chains and like everyone... I didn't get a proper chance to talk to all the 'old schoolers' Sorry you guys. I barely even realised ryhmo was there. Crappy. Sorry everyone. I really would have enjoyed talking more to people but for some reason the rain kinda made that not happen too. It's weird. I'm glad people enoyed my workshops, thanks everyone. They went rather well this year. I will put up some workshops notes at some point, and chad has some footage from the contact workshop so you can have a reminder and aid for later practise. [Practise practise practise...] ;p Thanks to skye and everyone with rubber boots particularly noel, who helped when they were tired and cold and being rained on. Good effort you guys. You were awesome. I particularly enjoyed taking anna maltese class on wushu broadsword. I felt even more hardcore doing it in the rain and mud. And loki's workshop on shoulder conditioning was super interesting. Anyway, gotta go find some food to eat. Hope I'll be back for firedrums 2010...
